Kaboom! Manafort Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison...Not For Collusion

MSNBC: Manafort had been convicted in the Virginia court last summer on eight counts of bank fraud, tax fraud and failing to file a foreign bank account report

Manafort had been convicted in the Virginia court last summer on eight counts of bank fraud, tax fraud and failing to file a foreign bank account report. The charges mostly pertained to Manafort's past work for Ukraine's Russia-backed president at the time, Viktor Yanukovych.

Manafort is expected to serve only 38 more months of the 47-month sentence because of time he has already spent incarcerated. In addition to the sentence, Ellis ordered Manafort to pay a $50,000 fine, the lowest fine provided for by guidelines that recommended a fine between $50,000 and $24 million.

You want to know why? He was charged and convicted of things he did back in 2013/2014 while working for Hillary's 2016 campaign Manager Jim Podesta. Not for COLLUSION. Collusion investigation led back to things he did while working as a ad hoc consultant for Hillary Clinton who was Obama's Secretary of State.

Here is what CNN had to say.

CNN on 3/8/2019:

He'll receive another sentence from a different federal judge next week for the two crimes he pleaded guilty to last year -- witness tampering and conspiracy related to years of illegal Ukrainian lobbying and money laundering. That sentencing could stack on top of the time he received Thursday.

Now Democrats are not happy. They are now saying the judge who handled the case shouldn't have be involved. They now know that this Manafort case had nothing to do with Trump or conspiracy with Russia. Trump said it a year ago and he said Manaforts case is about tax evasion and fraud he committed even before he got involved with Trumps 2016 campaign. And guess what he was right.

I must get @FactsMatters to see this. She must be crying her eyes out.

Its their in black and white. conviction of Manafort was for tax evasion, bank fraud and failing to register a foriegn account while working for Podesta group whose chairman was Hillary Clinton's campaign manager of 2016. I'm reporting the facts liberal MSNBC and CNN reported. lol

What did i say 2 years ago? Everything i said is coming true. i said this investigation of Manafort has nothing to do with trump and everything to do with his work as a consultant for Podesta. Now look even CNN and MSNBC is saying it. It feels good to be right.

@visafree, busted for what? Repeating the same thing the liberal democrat media is saying which is-Manafort case and conviction got and has nothing to do with Russian investigation while everything to do with his work for Hillary's campaign manager in Ukraine.

MAGA...What a disappointment the Manafort case and Muellers indictments have been. lol

Busted for repeating the same old song you and your president have been singing all these times.." no collusion", " no collusion" . to cover the conspiracy that is being investigated by Muller and the democrats?
